Happy birthday to the forums!

Post by orudge »

I nearly forgot (until prompted by Marco) that today the forums turn 11 years old! Happy birthday, forums, and thanks to all you chaps and chapettes for making this place the site it is today. :)

Eleven years, good god.

Do you have any old archives? I'd love to know how it first looked when it was made, or have you always had this same forum theme? :p

Owen's original forum used the standard subSilver phpBB theme, while my and Omnislash's forum used Woltlab Burning Board. I think we used the same background but with standard WBB buttons. After some time (when?) Owen merged the two forums into a single phpBB one and manage them since then. Sadly I don't remember the URL of the WBB's forum I hosted, so I can't find it on the Wayback Machine. Omnislash wrote regularly until February 2007, then disappeared until he posted again in February 2013. I haven't played TT for some time, but I still come here every 26th October (it's also the birthday of one of my relatives, that's why I always remember this date!).
I have lost my original user id for 20842 :(

I thought it was not allowed to have a separate birthday topic...



:P
